Male Fertility

 

Although often overlooked, Male Fertility health is as important for conception and healthy babies as female fertility health. Male infertility accounts for thirty percent of infertility. To determine the status of male fertility, semen analysis is often performed. The normal semen parameters according to the World Health Organization (WHO) are as follows:

 

• Volume: more than 1ml
• Count: more than 20 million sperm per ml
• Motility: more than 50% progressively motile
• Morphology: more than 14% normal appearance

 

There are many contributing factors leading to male fertility problems, including hormonal dysfunction, fever or infection (especially prostatitis, epididymitis or orchitis), medical drugs, caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, recreational drugs, poor diet, tight underwear and environmental chemicals.

 

The reproductive and fertility benefits that men may achieve include:

 

Increase in sperm count

Improve sperm motility

Increase sperm function and DNA integrity- enhancing fertilizing ability

Increase sperm quality

Strengthen and balance the immune system

Reduce stress and enhance overall state of well-being

 

Timing of fertility treatments for men

 

Human males produce sperm and seminal fluid every day. The process of sperm maturation averages 70 - 90 days. So results aren’t instantaneous and we usually see observable results within a few weeks. This is why the man receives acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for at least three months while the couple are trying to have a baby. At the very least we recommend that you start treatment as soon as you start trying to conceive.
